How to Make Pharmaceutical Manufacturing More Efficient

Posted July 16, 2018byNoren Thermal

In every industry, electrical thermal management plays a vital role in a company’s continued operations. Usually, that importance lies in the need for efficiently eliminating electrical waste heat so that vital technology doesn’t over heat. In some instances, however, thermal management plays several different but equally important roles. For example, in pharmaceutical manufacturing, essential technology also needs electrical thermal management. However, the processes required to produce quality products and maintain that quality throughout the packaging and shipping processes requires equally efficient and reliable ways to manage heat.

The Many Roles of Thermal Management

Pharmaceuticals are unique to other industries in that the products are created through highly precise chemical processes, most of which must be facilitated at specific temperatures. While electrical thermal management used to draw on large amounts of electricity thanks to cumbersome solutions like air conditioners, these processes can also become burdensome in their reliance on natural gas and other forms of energy. In addition to energy costs, though, insufficient thermal management solutions can significantly impact the quality of the pharmaceutical products that a company provides, and consequently, the health of the consumers who purchase them.

Meeting Those Challenges with Heat Exchangers

Other industries have long benefited from replacing air conditioners with heat exchangers for their electrical thermal management needs. A heat exchanger’s ability to transfer heat continuously with minimal energy, heightened efficiency, and reduced maintenance needs makes it optimal for manufacturing processes that are now automated and/or operate continuously. For pharmaceutical companies, those benefits also include a boost to their energy efficiency in areas of production. The heat that the units collect is typically dissipated safely away from electrical equipment, but when necessary, heat exchangers can be designed to transfer heat to areas where it can be utilized for improved productivity.
